Details of The microjaws

Investigators to the Sandia Nationals Laboratories have primeggiato with a pair of very small jaws bites. The microjaws can capture single red globules of the blood to a rhythm of 10 the second in order rilasciarli then undamaged.

This technology promises to supply a way in order to capture staminali cells and iniettarle of the new DNA of proteins or drugs, in order to correct geniuses it alters to you, or of the genetic defects, or in order to fight of the attacks of pathogenic agents.

Eventually the teeth will be replaced with of the needles in silicone aiming to depth and very precise positions in the cells.

The microjaws in silicone can enter in a wide small tube approximately a third party of the human hat, are worth to say wide approximately 20 micron.

The red globules pompati through the small tube and finally through the silicone teeth. The cells are deformed for a moment, but they return of new to the normal shape and later on they seem to work like of customary.

The methods currents of system of the cells use the electric fields in order to open the walls of the cells for chemical absorption. A problem with this method is that cause the dead women to one sweeping proportion of cellular populations. Other manual methods exist in which material genetic it is transported in the cells one by one, through one pipette a lot fine: a laborious and specialized process. With this "Pac-Man", as this microscopical device of the Sandia could also be renamed spiritosamente, it is possible to exceed both problems.

According to the Sandia, the devices you, feed you from an action similar to the piston, are lend well for being produced in mass, in simple and economic way with the techniques of production of the integrated microcircuits.

Sandia is a Department of the managed Energetic Service from Lockheed Martin.
